A 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck Mexico on Tuesday while President Obama’s daughter was there on vacation. The First Lady released a statement that the teen was never in danger.

Malia, 13, is on vacation in Oaxaca as part of a school-sponsored service project, reports the Associated Press.

With the exception of this instance because it involves the safety of the president’s daughter, the White House does not comment on the Obama children and generally requests that media not report on or photograph the girls when they are not with their parents. People
